In a world that often celebrates strength and success, vulnerability might seem like a weakness—but for Hannah Love, it’s a cornerstone of true personal growth and success. Throughout her journey, Hannah has discovered that embracing vulnerability isn’t just about being open with others; it’s about being honest with yourself. It’s through this honesty that real transformation begins.

Hannah’s life has been shaped by challenges that tested her resilience and forced her to confront deep-seated fears and insecurities. From childhood trauma to the emotional struggles of her twenties, she faced moments where vulnerability was not an option but a necessity. “For a long time, I saw vulnerability as a sign of weakness,” Hannah recalls. “I thought that if I let people see my pain, they would see me as less capable, less strong.”

However, as Hannah began to open up about her experiences, she realized that vulnerability was not her enemy—it was her greatest ally. It allowed her to connect with others on a deeper level, to share her struggles without shame, and to find strength in the very parts of herself that she had once tried to hide. “Vulnerability isn’t about being weak,” she explains. “It’s about being real. It’s about showing up as your true self, no matter how imperfect that self might be.”

One of the most significant lessons Hannah learned is that vulnerability is essential to building meaningful relationships. When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we create space for others to do the same. This mutual openness fosters trust and deepens connections, both personally and professionally. “The more I shared my story, the more I realized that others were going through similar struggles,” Hannah says. “By being vulnerable, I wasn’t just helping myself—I was helping others feel less alone.”

In her work as a mental health advocate, Hannah emphasizes the power of vulnerability in healing and personal development. She encourages others to embrace their imperfections, to share their stories, and to see vulnerability as a pathway to growth rather than a hurdle to overcome. “When we hide our true selves, we limit our potential,” she explains. “But when we embrace who we are, flaws and all, we open ourselves up to new possibilities.”

Hannah’s journey also taught her that vulnerability is closely linked to authenticity. For years, she tried to fit into societal molds, hiding her true feelings behind a mask of perfection. But this only led to more pain and disconnection. It was only when she started living authentically—when she stopped trying to be what others expected and started being herself—that she found true success. “Living authentically means embracing your vulnerabilities and showing up as your whole self,” she says. “It’s about being honest with yourself and others, even when it’s hard.”

Through her platform, Hannah continues to advocate for vulnerability as a key to personal and professional success. She believes that when we embrace our vulnerabilities, we not only empower ourselves but also inspire others to do the same. “Success isn’t just about what you achieve,” she explains. “It’s about how you achieve it—by being true to yourself and allowing others to see the real you.”

As Hannah prepares for her TEDx Miami talk, she is eager to share her insights on vulnerability and authenticity with a broader audience. She hopes to inspire others to embrace their true selves and to see vulnerability not as a weakness, but as a source of strength and connection. Her message is clear: in a world that often values perfection, it’s our imperfections—and our willingness to share them—that truly make us successful.

HBO debuted teasers for a number of highly anticipated new and returning shows, such as The Last of Us’ second season and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the first season of the Game of Thrones prequel.

Aside from clips from The White Lotus season 3 and IT spin-off series It: Welcome to Derry, the trailer (below) featured new superhero parodies The Franchise, upcoming seasons of The Gilded Age and And Just Like That, and more. It aired before the second-season finale of House of the Dragon.

The third season of Industry, the fourth and last season of My Brilliant Friend, the adult animation DC Universe series Creature Commandos, the drama spin-off Dune: Prophecy, and the Batman spin-off series The Penguin are a few of the other programs included in the mix.

Aside from the new Max originals The Pitt, starring Noah Wyle, and the J.J. Abrams drama Duster, starring Rachel Hilson and Josh Holloway, there is footage from the documentaries Wise Guy David Chase and The Sopranos, which examine the life and career of The Sopranos creator.

A number of the “big” titles, such as Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Welcome to Derry, The Last of Us season two, and others, will launch in 2025.Season three of And Just Like That.

However, a few of the series, such as Industry (which returns on August 11), The Franchise (which returns later this year), and The Penguin (which returns on September 19), are quickly approaching.

At the summer box office, the Minions have taken the lead, and they aren’t letting go.

Despicable Me 4 is having a profitable weekend in theaters for the second week in a row. Within just two weeks of its release, the Illumination sequel has made $44.6 million domestically, a 40 percent decrease from its opening weekend profits. This brings its total box office receipts to $211 million.

Having started with Despicable Me just 12 years ago, the series has grown to become one of the highest-grossing animated franchises ever. The movie brought in an additional $87.9 million overseas, for a total cume of $437.8 million worldwide.

Oz Perkins’ most recent horror movie made $25.7 million at the box office worldwide after opening at $22.6 million domestically. Maika Monroe plays FBI Agent Lee Harker in the movie, an astute investigator tasked with solving the case of an unsolved serial killer who unexpectedly turns up evidence of the occult.

One of the main reasons people are lining up to see the horror movie in theaters is probably curiosity. In addition to learning the truth about the enigmatic murderer, viewers will only get to witness Nicolas Cage’s terrifying transition into the movie’s lead villain. The persona has so far been purposefully kept under wraps in movie trailers and promotional materials.

Prior to the movie’s premiere, Perkins told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s driving people towards a freak show at a circus tent.” “We’ve got the thing behind the curtain, and when there are enough people gathered ’round, we’re going to pull the curtain.”

Cage continued. “He is going to change your reality. Your doors of perception are going to open, and your life is not going to be the same.”

Less scary news: Inside Out 2 continues to have a great theatrical run, giving Pixar another emotional weekend. Five weeks after its premiere, the sequel movie brought in $20.7 million at the US box office, a 32% decrease from the previous week’s profits. The 2015 sequel to Inside Out is currently the highest-grossing Pixar film ever, with a global cume of $1.3 billion and a domestic total of $572.5 million.

Fourth place went to another sequel: A Quiet Place: Day One, the most recent in John Krasinkski’s gripping post-apocalyptic series, which debuted in June and told the heartwarming story of Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, and an incredibly quiet cat. The movie’s domestic gross of $116.2 million was increased by an additional $11.8 million. With a worldwide cume of $220.7 million, the thriller about surviving New York while superhearing aliens hunt humans made significantly less money abroad, taking in $10.4 million.

Fly Me to the Moon, an Apple movie that stars Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson as a NASA launch chief and marketing genius, rounds out the list at number five. Their adorableness is eclipsed as they collaborate during the final stages of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The movie made a total of $19 million worldwide after opening at just $10 million domestically and earning an additional $9 million in other countries. Aside from its run at the theater, the movie should do better when it becomes available on the studio’s streaming service, AppleTV+.

Johansson told EW that she was committed to seeing the movie through to completion since big romantic comedies are in high demand.

Johansson stated that “The most challenging projects to find are romantic comedies and dramedies.” “The totally original script by Rose Gilroy was what excited me most about this film. It is a big picture movie that feels both nostalgic and so modern and the kind of movie I’m always reaching for that you rarely get to see in theaters these days. Audiences are hungry for original films!”
